I really would like to know a bit more about Calculate Linux. I tried the live CD of the desktop edition (CLD) for previous release, and i liked.
As i was using the live CD, i did not try the package management. However, i think it doesn’t includes proprietary drivers. Nevertheless, i think it’s a good distro.
Here is the link to the main website: http://www.calculate-linux.org/Main_Page
And the link to download section: http://www.calculate-linux.org/Download
By the way, thanks for all the reviews so far.
Although its not commonly thought of as a desktop or noob-friendly OS, Debian has made a lot of progress recently on both counts. I’d like to know what your opinion is on Debian Lenny.
Hello Jim,
What is your opinion about Zorin OS 2.0? Just been out and I have been reading some nice reviews. I hope you can shine your light about this distro.
Jim,
I’ve been looking at purchasing a new ultra-portable notebook to replace my aging and well-used Asus EeePC 701. I’ve been eyeing some Toshibas, which are offered in configurations with OpenSolaris installed.
Would it be possible to review OpenSolaris and possibly run it as a comparo against, say, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, and the like?
It’d be greatly appreciated, as I’m not sure it’d be that great a deal over the WinXp/7 versions if I’m just going to wipe and install another OS myself.
Slax please.
Jim, if I understand them correctly people on the PCLOS website are saying that a new version with a KDE 4-series desktop is due out yet this month (February). If so keep an eye out or it.
I suspect Mepis is coming along also with their 4-series desktop. If so you will have two interesting distributions for review before too long!
Hey jim, I was reading your reviews and their great!
OK enough of the suck up crap, I think you might find this distro interesting. It’s called super OS, Originally called super ubuntu. nothing special but superOS is basicly ubuntu that’s toured out-of-the-box and user-friendly experience for ubuntu, it’s packed (1.1GB) with more things that a beginner will need and then some. If your thinking it’s more like Ultimate Edition then your wrong. SuperOS comes with everything you truly need for a beginner and things that average and advance ubuntu users would like to have. I know that this isn’t really convincing but all I’m asking is that you should check it out and if you feel like it review it. Here’s the link http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS. have fun!
Hello, would you please consider a review of Frugalware 1.2 please?

Also would enjoy a review of the LXDE version of Ubuntu…I think its called “Lubuntu”
Thank you. Please don’t delete my post..

How ’bout Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10? I know you reviewed the standard Ubuntu 9.10, but I eant to really see if UNR is better for a netbook than Desktop Edition.
